    Can't see us getting owt from Reading, Brighton or Derby. A point against Villa, Huddersfield, Norwich, QPR and Wednesday and then a win against Ipswich.

    Let's see. Tough to call as are 90% of matches in this league. If we go into the Wednesday game within 6 points or less of them, we're still in with a shout. Though playing relegation-threatened teams during the run-in is never what you would choose.

    Right - I`ve done the maths ( and obviously this is completely objective!).
    We will get another 35 points putting us on 79. Does that get us into the play-offs?

    QPR away!!! seriously

    Have you ever looked at our record there? its one of our Jinxed grounds. I can see us getting points in the others you mention though - and wouldnt be surpised if we picked up points at Reading Villa or Norwich - just QPR is a certain defeat

    Interesting overview promotion/ relegation stats: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36906402


    "On average, teams have needed 73 points to reach the play-offs in the last 10 Championship seasons.


    Leicester City qualified for the 2012-13 Championship play-offs with only 68 points
    In 2012-13, Leicester City reached the play-offs with just 68 points - the lowest number a team has ever required to make the second-tier play-offs since the current four-team format was introduced in 1989-90.

    Two seasons later, however, Wolves finished with a huge 78 points yet still managed to miss out on sixth place to Ipswich Town on goal difference."

    Better idea would be to make hemsy our ambassador to Chelsky and get pick of their academy.

    We shouldn't fear anyone. Perhaps only Newcastle/Fulham have shown this season that they might have too much quality for us but we still gave them a game.
